If you're going to read this book, you should get out a highlighter or two because you will be highlighting a bunch of abbreviations that are fully explained in the glossary at the back of the book. Again, another Rawles habit. The author is “A. American,” which, after reading Going Home, could be just a way to hide the fact that an author in the Rawles camp is writing another series based on an EMP, not on the economic collapse of the United States.The book also takes place in a location I'm familiar with, beginning in Tallahassee, FL, and ending in Ocala, FL. Water moccasins and alligators are the only things that are missing as barriers to the first-person narrator getting home. Otherwise, there was everything you could imagine in it: bad guys and girls, an evil DHS, neighbors turning against neighbors, etc. I realized the book was written almost nine years ago, and I feel bad that I only accidentally came across it. I understand the author has written sequels, and I certainly will read them because I like the author's writing style. He's clearly skilled at prepping and understanding the weapons systems he used and the people he populated this book with. If you're a prepper you need to read this book. If you're interested in dystopian fiction you should read this book. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Going home *by H***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2023* Interesting ### ⭐⭐⭐ I didn't LOVE it, but it is a little better than 3 stars *by S***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2018* I'd say this review is more of a 3.75 review, but I didn't want to round up to a 4 star review and say that I loved it. This is a good book. I've read so many reviews that say it is a well written book. It is not. I read a review that said there was very little profanity in this book. Curse words are absolutely everywhere, and while I don't really think that these people would go around saying "Goshdarnit", I don't see how anyone can say this a a clean book language-wise. I may not be a story editor, but the grammar errors are egregious, as they are with most authors of this genre. However, the author can certainly tell a story ( that doesn't forgive improper grammar) and it was a compelling story. I am tempted to dismiss the language problems since I am one of the few that care about language and grammar, but our language is one of our defining characteristics of our culture and our community. The inability to write and speak properly reflects badly on all of us. I'm not perfect, but I do know what an objective pronoun is and I know how to make subject and verbs agree. I will continue to hold published authors to a higher standard when communicating through the written word. So, Mr A. American, you get dinged on this review because you didn't pay attention to your 5th grade grammar teacher.I read a modicum of prepper fiction. Partly because it is almost never well written and also, it winds me up. I get upset and want to buy whatever the author used in the book or maybe a pallet of rice Super Pails. Books like "Going Home" give me what I call 'crisis fatigue". You have 20 pages of crisis and two paragraphs of normalcy, or humor, or someone did something that restores faith in humanity. Then another chapter of crisis after crisis after crisis. I'm not saying this is necessarily misplaced, but I do get tired of the high octane, testosterone-driven, go-go-go, blow-it-up, shoot-it-up adventure. I start to watch the page counter on my tablet to see how much further we have to go to get this guy home and also wonder what else can be thrown at any of the characters.I picked this book based on a review by a Prepper blogger that I follow and I pretty much NEVER buy a book over ten dollars. I just don't believe that it costs that much to produce an e-book and deliver it by internet. I'm also not sure that the author gets a higher percentage of what would be excessive profit for the publishing house. But, I was looking for something different and I bought it at the ridiculous price of $12.92. All of the books in the series are over $10 and they most certainly are not worth the elevated price, but I will probably read them all anyway. I'll buy one a month, maybe.I've dinged this book for grammar, crisis fatigue and price. What did I like about it? Well, he's got some pretty good ideas on gear. I'm not a knife person. I'd rather have a gun in a fight, but he shows other uses for knives that make me rethink that position. That's really why we read this type of fiction anyway. What is he doing that I'm not doing? What does he know that I don't know? What skill does he have that I don't have? As a woman, the prepper series, "The Journal" by Deborah D. Moore, speaks to me more. However, food prep isn't going to do much good if you are stranded a thousand miles from home, or 250 as was the case in this book. Even with crisis fatigue, it is important to think about what you would do in these circumstances. It's important to role play along with the author, in my opinion. That is what these books do for people like me and that is why they are valuable tools. Even with the foul language, I will encourage my children (all adults, btw) to read this book.In the end, my recommendation is to buy the book. Read the book. Decide how you will respond to the book. All other criticism aside, that's my bottom line. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/7627255-going-home-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/7627255-going-home-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
